EPISODE 2: GOOD FOLKS ARE HARD TO FIND

I know you're in there.

Open up.

Hello?

Why do you sound like that?

Hang on.

Mind your temper. You'll end up paying

otherwise.

Are you fighting?

Nah, it's nothing.

Wow. Who knew that our sweet Taek

could go off like that?

Did you get enough loans for Seung-mi's tuition?

I'm on my way to Mukpo to make the difference.

A passenger offered a grand.

A grand to go to Mukpo?

What a weirdo.

He is a bit odd.

He says he's stowing away on a ship

and has killed people.

- Really? - He says he's kidding.

But his eyes

say he may not be bluffing.

Oh, man. You picked up a freak.

Hey Taek,

make up an excuse and lose him somewhere.

I can't.

I need the money.

You know that.

Didn't you hear about Kim's taxi mugging?

The mugger not only took the cab and money

but also beat him up for an hour for no reason.

There are lots of freaks out there.

And

does he have the money?

How can you trust that freak?

Taek, drop him off somewhere and come back.

I can't.

Even if he is a crazy freak,

he's still a passenger.

Oh, geez.

Gotta go.

It's a long trip,

so I'll sit here so we can talk.

You don't mind, right?

No, no, no.

- I got you one too. Here. - Thank you.

Whoa.

This is very spicy.

Isn't it spicy?

This?

I was wondering

if I could get a down payment.

All of a sudden?

You're supposed to pay up front for long-distance trips.

Do you not trust me?

It's not that.

I was just wondering.

Sure. I'll give it to you now.

Will 500 wons do?

Yes.

Thank you.

Put your seatbelt on,

Off we go.

DETECTIVE KIM JUNG-MIN

PARTY LEADER WI JI-YEONG'S PUBLIC GRIEVANCE BUSKING

Wow. Look at this Friday-night crowd.

It's way bigger than I expected.

Right?

Why here on a Friday night?

Why is he doing this despite knowing

that drunken kids are impossible to control?

His comment that Gens Y and Z

are entitled shitheads who want rights

without duties was leaked recently.

Public sentiment is rock bottom, so he's desperate.

Let's just pray that nothing happens.

Jun-ho,

mind your 3 o'clock.

What? Move.

- Move. - Hello, sir.

Shut this down. Shut it. What the heck?

Auch. I'm sorry.

The phone is off now...

Oh. The doctor got in a cab

in front of the convenience store

down the street.

He had a huge suitcase

like he was traveling far.

TAXI DRIVER LICENSE OH TAEK

Oh? Your name is Oh Taek.

Yes, yes.

Then do people call you: "Oh, Taek-si"?

Pardon?

I'm Geum Hyeok-su.

I see.

- Hyeok-su. - Yes.

Oh, thank you.

Is your hand okay?

The bleeding stopped. No problem.

There should be antiseptic and band-aids in there.

It's okay.

It will get infected

if you don't disinfect it in time.

Doesn't it sting?

No. As I said, I don't feel pain.

Is that blood?

Pardon?

On your pants.

Oh, it is.

Is that from when you

slashed your palm?

Probably.

It's not hard to kill a person.

That doesn't look like it came from you.

Why?

Do you think I killed someone at the rest stop?

No, no, no.

It was just a passing comment

on something that caught my eye.

Should I put the radio on? How about some music?

This isn't my cup of tea.

We can turn it off, right?

Yes, sure, sure.

Whatever you want.

Welcome.

Excuse me.

Could I see the footage for the CCTV outside?

No. I'll get into trouble with the boss.

I'll just look real quick.

You won't get into trouble.

Please just go.

I'll pay.

How much?

Want to go to a singles bar?

My treat.

I came across some free money.

Geez.

Yeah.

Yes. Why can't you trust me?

Yes. See you there. Okay.

Is it that taxi you're looking for?

Hope Taxi, 6755.

Hope Taxi, right?

Could I get the number of the driver

of plate number 6755?

DRUNKARD JU-HWAN

Hey, I'm driving. We'll talk later.

Taek, what did you do about that freak?

Hey, let's talk later.

- Geez. Taek, no! - Hey, hey, hey.

That psycho...

He's nagging me again.

A friend. My best friend.

Oh? The battery is out.

- Is it me? - Pardon?

Freak. Psycho.

It is me, right?

About that,

my friend seems to have gotten the wrong idea

because you offered to pay double to go to Mukpo.

I'm sorry.

DRUNKARD JU-HWAN

Sorry.

It's Han Ji-soo.

She looks like Se-na.

Yun Se-na was my first love back in high school.

Wow, really?

Se-na was pretty.

You scare me.

I don't know why

since I haven't done anything wrong.

The only thing I've done is love you.

That's why you must die.

Please, spare me today.

I can't. Don't resist.

It's too late!

I joined the drama club because of Se-na.

I tried to befriend her, but it wasn't easy.

Se-na was guarded.

We hit it off right away

and pulled off things

that we each couldn't have done on our own.

That was fun.

Aren't you guys hungry? Ramyeon?

- Your treat? - What?

There was so much we wanted to do.

The world was filled with worthless,

disgusting and revolting human beings.

It's huge.

Se-na once said

that she wished she could burn everything to ashes.

I was so intrigued

that there was someone else in this world

that thought just like me.

It felt like I had found my soulmate.

I wanted to do it for her.

Whatever it was

that she wanted.

Coco.

Coco, here you are.

So I fulfilled her request to teach her dad a lesson.

She was so happy.

Seeing her happy...

Made me happy.

- Love you. - Really.

Love you too.

Although she was young,

wasn't that too harsh of a joke?

Don't you think Se-na had good reason to do it?

Some parents deserve it.

Nevertheless,

that wasn't called for.

Your kids must have never caused any trouble.

I was the troublemaker,

causing my sweet kids grief.

Parents always think their kids won't cause trouble.

Honestly,

parents don't really know their kids.

My daughter

never caused trouble even as a teen,

busy looking after her mom and brother because of me.

And while my son is immature like me,

he's so sweet that he can't even hurt a fly.

Really?

But kids from such families tend to be worse.

What do you mean by "such families"?

Families with troublemaker parents.

Such kids have pent-up anger

they can't tell their parents about,

so they get up to no good

behind their parents' backs.

Sir,

don't you think you're overstepping?

Mr. Oh,

do you know what Se-na and I were really into?

Writing a novel together.

It was about a teen couple that kill their parents,

committing a perfect crime.

THAT IS WHY YOUR DAD MUST DIE?

WHY YOU WANT TO KILL HIM IS A SECRET

NO. THE REASON MY DAD MUST DIE IS

Se-na's dad had no idea

his daughter was writing something like that.

Do you think you're any different?

Not everyone is the same.

Why are you worked up?

How are you different?

YOUR INSTALLMENT PAYMENT IS FOUR WEEKS PAST DUE

Hello?

Yeah, I'm transferring.

Andong.

Why?

Because my dad is incompetent.

I'm too poor to take art lessons.

No art high school or art college for me.

Let the kids at the art academy know

that Oh Seung-mi is out because her chump of a dad

got scammed.

They'll be happy to be rid of a competitor.

Bye.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Seung-mi.

- Let's talk... - You're the lowest of the low.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

Why did you slap me?

Why did you slap me

when this is all your fault?

How are you different?

If I offended you,

I apologize.

I'd rather not talk about my kids.

Do you know how worked up you got

at the mention of your kids?

That makes me even more curious.

There must be some kind of a story.

Okay. I'll stop.

You must love your family a lot.

Who doesn't?

I did too.

I could do what I did

because I loved Se-na very much.

I made Se-na a gift to celebrate

the completion of our novel.

It was a one-of-a-kind gift

that money couldn't buy.

But girls are strange.

After happily accepting the gift,

she ghosted me for a long time.

Then do you know what she said?

I've started seeing someone.

Don't call me anymore.

I couldn't just back off

because I wasn't going to find

another soulmate like Se-na.

So I jumped him,

but he turned out to be a jock.

Get up, you lame fuck.

Hey motherfucker,

stay away from Se-na.

Got that?

I wanted to die

from the shame of getting my ass kicked.

So I got on whatever bus headed to the coast

and then got into that accident

I told you about.

And when I came to,

I felt no fear or pain.

I'm sorry.

I thought to myself

Wow. I have a superpower.

I felt like I could do anything.

This is how Spider-Man must feel.

I thought hard about what to do with my superpower.

And the answer came very quickly.

So I baited him.

YUN SE-NA COME HERE

What...

You seem disappointed.

Look at your face.

Was it you?

You psycho freak. Damn it.

Is this funny?

Yeah. It's hilarious.

Shithead.

Is this funny? Is it?

Are you done?

Hey, are you throwing in the towel?

You crazy fuck.

Hey.

Hey, come on.

Enough, okay?

Let's stop.

Keep going.

We should party some more.

I want to keep partying.

Stay away.

Hey, stay away.

Stay from me, asshole!

Help.

Fuck. I'm sorry.

Help me.

No.

Did you

kill him?

No.

He fell.

Geez.

Weren't you listening?

I'm sorry, Hyeok-su,

but can we go to Mukpo

in silence?

Why?

Call me old-fashioned,

but your stories

are hard to stomach.

Yes, sure.

I'll keep my trap shut.

- Want a lollipop? - No, no.

HIRING TAXI DRIVERS

Excuse me.

I'd like to get in touch

with the driver whose plate number is 6755.

Didn't you call earlier?

I called the number you gave me,

but he's not answering.

He isn't? Just a moment.

This isn't your kitchen. Pay for it.

Don't be a cheapskate.

These things cost next to nothing.

They're not free.

He's not answering.

You left something in the cab, right?

Yes, yes.

Fill out the lost-and-found form here.

His mobile is the only way we can reach him.

Who's not reachable?

Who's not reachable?

Oh. I know where he is.

Old habits die hard.

- Where? - Want to know?

It'll cost you 50 cents.

Nah. Don't want to know.

Geez.

Sir,

do you know where I might find Mr. Yang?

Pardon? No, I don't.

Look. You do know.

I can't tell you.

Yang has a temper. He'll throw a fit

if I tell you.

I really have to get a hold of him.

Please help me.

Geez. I don't know.

Sir.

What is your problem?

Do you want a quickie?

I'm trying to catch the bastard that killed my son.

And he took that cab this evening.

- Really? - Yes.

Get out of here.

If it's true, why are you here instead of going to the cops?

The cops don't believe me.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you either.

What's the real story that you'd tell such a lie?

Will this do?

Geez. This is even shadier.

Just decide if you want this or not.

Shit. I'm bored.

Mr. Oh, I'm just going to talk.

Pardon?

I'm way too bored.

I will talk, so listen even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Hyeok-su, let's go in silence...

Hey,

I want to talk, okay?

Where was I?

Oh, right. Se-na's boyfriend.

I was a bit worried about what happened that night,

but it blew over without incident.

But I never got to see Se-na again

Without Se-na, I had nothing to do.

And as I wasn't born too stupid,

I applied myself a little

and got into an enviable college.

To see what the fuss was about,

I went to freshman orientation.

It was so annoying

that it tested my patience.

Hey.

Damn it.

The treatment is complete.

You can go once the IV drip is done.

No.

Will my husband live?

When will the doctor get here?

You're not a doctor!

Get the attending!

What are you doing?

Accept it.

You're not like them.

Woman.

Woman.

Corpse.

Do what you want.

Thirst.

Blood.

Do what makes you feel alive.

- Death. - Now.

Death.

Mr. Geum.

Mr. Geum?

Is it like schizophrenia?

Kind of.

He keeps appearing and harasses me.

He's sitting in the back now

snickering away.

Stop snickering, you crazy fuck.

You scare so easily.

You can't pull a prank like this on the highway.

You pulled the same prank earlier.

This was payback.

Geez.

Think of the guy next to you as your alter ego,

a shadow that's difficult to come to terms with.

You must make an effort to recognize him

as a part of you and accept him.

It won't be easy right off the bat.

But if you see him again...

Just...

prescribe me something.

The strongest there is.

Hey.

Get yourself dinner.

I mean it.

Thank you.

That night, I made a choice.

And I was reborn.

That...

was my first murder.

You're kidding, right?

No.

Why are you telling me this?

I just wanted to tell someone my story.

It's not something I can share with my parents,

so who better to tell than the taxi driver.

I met on my way to be a stowaway?

Mr. Oh,

my secret is safe with you, right?

Let's see.

Found it.

Try Pine Field Diner in Cheongpa-dong.

Most likely, Yang Seung-taek will be there.

Welcome. Is it just you? What would you like?

I'm not here to eat. I'm looking for someone.

Who?

Mr. Yang Seung-taek, a Hope Taxi driver.

Is Mr. Yang Seung-taek here?

Sorry.

Mr. Yang! No?

- He's not here. - But...

Okay. One-pointer.

Nine-pointer.

I'm killing it.

This blows.

6755 TAXI DRIVER

Please leave a message...

Excuse me.

Mr. Yang?

- What is this? - Money.

You picked up a passenger in Hwawol-dong

this evening, right?

I'd like to know everything about him,

so tell me whatever you know.

- I wasn't driving the cab today. - Pardon?

You have me confused with someone else.

No.

You're Mr. Yang Seung-taek, plate 6755 of Hope Taxi.

My plate number is 6755,

but I didn't drive the cab today.

It was Mr. Oh.

Go and talk to him.

He has been driving the cab all day.

- Mr. Oh? - Yes.

Could you give me his number?

This should make it worth your while.

You keep offering me money. Don't be weird.

Please!

Can't you just help me?

Why are you yelling?

Okay, okay.

Geez.

He picked up a long-distance passenger

who offered to pay him double, so he's on route to Mukpo.

OH TAEK, HOPE TAXI

He must be the passenger you're looking for.

- Mukpo? - Yes. Call him.

But...

is the passenger dangerous?

Damn it.

Why did that wuss have to get in trouble,

and act out of character?

Is that a human finger?

Yes. It's still warm.

I cut it off not too long ago.

A gift.

Whose is it?

The RV guy?

Why did you cut off his finger?

I thought you'd like it.

You wanted to kill him.

When?

In the restroom.

I saw the look in your eyes

when you glared at him.

I...

never wanted to do that.

Liar.

Mr. Oh,

you've become my accomplice now.

No!

Okay. I'll stop.

And this finger

isn't that RV asshole's.

I pulled your leg

because I get a kick out of your reaction.

Then whose is it?

Are you really skipping town because you killed someone?

I won't kill you, so don't worry.

All you have to do is listen to my story

and take me to Mukpo.

You can't do that after taking a down payment.

I'll return it.

No, there's no need.

Let's get going.

Highway shoulders are dangerous.

Just take this cab.

I can't drive. I told you about my trauma.

Then, um,

I'll drop you off at the next tollgate.

I'm so scared that I can't drive.

Why are you being like this?

You promised to take me to Mukpo.

I only said yes to your ridiculous

asking price of a grand

because I liked you.

I'm very sorry.

I'll return the down payment

and get you in another cab at the next tollgate.

I thought about it, but no.

If you're worried that I'll call the police

because you showed me that finger,

I won't. Absolutely not.

Of course not.

MR. OH TAEK

You can't call the cops

because I'm taking your phone.

Please leave a message...

Why did you take my phone?

- Give it back. - Listen carefully.

I just have to get to Mukpo and stow away on a ship.

I will be pulling off my plan,

and nothing will happen to you.

So will you stop your nonsense and drive?

Please leave a message...

I just have to get you to Mukpo, right?

Yes.

You must earn the remainder of the grand.

Taek!

Are you finally hitting the road?

So? Do I look like a pro?

Cheap shades will blind you in tunnels

and kill you, you idiot.

Here.

What's this?

Wow. Hey, aren't these expensive?

Wow. Thank you, thank you.

They look good on you.

My friend, just watch.

I'm going to work tirelessly

and pay off all my debt.

I like your enthusiasm,

but don't push yourself too hard.

When you drive a cab,

you come across all kinds of freaks.

Hey, you know Yoon Young-chul, right?

Do you know how he moved the bodies?

By cab.

He mixed the body parts with aged kimchi.

Hey!

Is that appropriate on your friend's first day

as a hope-filled cabbie?

Get out.

Is this what I get for caring?

Geez.

What now?

In training, you learned about the hazard light, right?

Yeah.

Where was it again?

Geez. I had a feeling.

That light is very important.

If you hit that button, the taxi sign turns red.

But I don't think people know what that means.

How will they call it in if they don't know?

That's true.

This one cabbie had it on for three hours on the road,

but no one called it in.

What? So what's the point?

Nonetheless, this is all you can count on

if you run into a psycho.

Who knows?

Someone might know what it means.

Why do you keep glancing over?

Pardon? I'm not.

My stomach is acting up.

Could you get me the antacid in there?

SEOUL

Here.

- Should I open it for you? - Yes, if you don't mind.

Excuse me.

Detective Kim!

Sorry. Sorry.

Ma'am, how did you know where I was?

I called the police station, and they said you were here.

Just a moment.

You said to bring evidence, right?

I found it.

I'm signing off briefly. Come this way.

Geum Hyeok-su was the culprit.

He's on his way to Mukpo in a cab.

The hospital said he didn't put in a time-off request.

He's just fleeing.

Look. Here. I found this in his house.

Ma'am, did you...

break into his house?

Why? Does that matter?

Ma'am, evidence obtained by breaking and entering,

no matter what it is, holds no evidentiary value.

It's illegal, okay? Illegal.

Then come with me and check for yourself.

I know his address.

No one is there right now,

so you can come and check the evidence.

How can I go in there without a search warrant?

Geez.

Now it's a search warrant?

You said you needed evidence,

so I brought it to you,

and now it's a search warrant?

What do I have to do to get you to investigate?

We know who the culprit is, and we know where he's going.

If he's going to Mukpo,

he might stow away.

If he sails off somewhere,

we will never catch him!

Hey, hurry...

Stop him!

Detective!

Move, move, move.

Shit.

- Take him to the station. - Detective.

Detective!

Detective!

Excuse me.

No. Detective! Detective...

SEOUL

What the hell?

- Look at him. - He's swerving between lanes.

What is his problem? Hey, get ahead of him.

You can't honk on the highway.

Mr. Baek,

can you find out about ships that take stowaways?

I need info on such ships that are leaving Mukpo tonight.

FOG AREA CAUTION ADVISED FOR 1 KM

Oh,

wait.

One more thing.

The thing

you mentioned last time...

Can you get it?

Yes.

A gun.

What is that?

Why is the taxi sign red?

What?

I can't really see.

I think I heard somewhere

that it's like an SOS sign.

I've never heard that.

Pull up.

You never know.

Okay.

Why are they staring?

I don't know.

Maybe they've never seen a Seoul taxi before.

Let's pass them.

Let's follow them.

REST AREA 300M AHEAD

Let's pull over.

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

I picked up a passenger,

and he said he had killed someone.

Pardon?

I didn't believe him at first, but he showed me a human finger

- he had cut off. - Please calm down.

Have some water.

Where are you going?

Excuse me. Step out.

Step out, will you?

No?

Ju-seong! Ju-seong!

Ju-seong! Ju-seong!

Hey.

Are you okay?

What the fuck?

Sir,

my phone is on the driver's seat.

Yes, okay.
